The dangers of exercising while on your period

“Auntie” generally refers to women’s menstruation. Moderate exercise during menstruation is not harmful to the body, but strenuous exercise may cause an increase in the amount of menstrual blood, prolonged menstrual period, pelvic congestion and other hazards. Moderate exercise during menstruation can promote blood circulation, reduce the symptoms of dysmenorrhea, and facilitate the discharge of menstrual blood, which is not harmful to the body. However, strenuous exercise during menstruation may lead to an increase in the shedding of the uterine lining, resulting in an increase in the amount of menstrual blood and a prolongation of the menstrual period. Strenuous exercise may also cause menstrual blood to flow backwards into the pelvis, causing conditions such as endometriosis. Exercise in moderation during menstruation, with gentle, soothing exercise as the main focus, avoiding the choice of strenuous running, swimming and other sports, so as not to cause discomfort during menstruation. If you experience discomfort during menstruation, it is recommended that you seek medical advice in a timely manner.
